SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Presolicitation notices are used by the Government for several
reasons, one of which is to aid prospective contractors in submitting
proposals without undue expenditure of effort, time, and money. The
Government also uses the presolicitation notices to control printing
and mailing costs. The presolicitation notice response is used to
determine the number of solicitation documents needed and to assure
that interested offerors receive the solicitation documents. The
responses are placed in the contract file and referred to when
solicitation documents are ready for mailing. After mailing, the
responses remain in the contract file and become a matter of record.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 10 minutes per completion, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. The annual reporting burden is estimated as
follows: Respondents, 5,310; responses per respondent, 8; total annual
responses, 42,480; preparation hours per response, .167; and total
response burden hours, 7,094.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requester may obtain a copy of the
justification from the General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat
(MVRS),1800 F Street, NW Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405, telephone
(202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0037, Presolicitation
Notice and Response, Standard Form 1417, in all correspondence.
